“I don’t know if you ever saw on TMZ, the big headline: ‘Dave Chappelle, Drunk on Stage in Detroit. Well if you saw it…I wasn’t drunk,” Chappelle said during his explanation. I had smoked some reefer, with some rappers. Yeah. I don’t know if you know anything about hanging out with rappers, but their weed is very strong – stronger than what I was accustomed to.”

Chappelle didn’t deign to specify the “rappers” that assisted in derailing his comeback, but a recent Instagram post from Detroit’s own Danny Brown suggests that he was one of the culprits: possibly, the sole one. Brown posted a screenshot of a Tweet speculating that he had been the purveyor of the debilitating weed and replied “Haven’t seen Dave new special but heard he gotta bit about that night I got him stoned to the gills … momma I made it!!!”

In his special, Chappelle calls the night “a fucking nightmare,” but it seems like Brown had a fine time.
